So, for the people on the bench here, this is about the internal modules
that unbound uses to resolve queries.  They are event driven.  The
inform_supers event happens if a sub-query is done.  For example, the
DNSKEY for a trust anchor has been looked up and the query can continue
its validation.

A module creates a subquery, and then waits for that to be done.  This
event is the inform_supers event.  It happens for the module that is
active (i.e. that created the subquery).

The same mechanism is also used for network access.  The module creates
a network-query.  An event arrives when that is done, it is sent to the
active module (i.e. that created the network query and then waited for it).

Best regards,
   Wouter
